  1. monitor turns off after increasing refresh rate on new pc


    I have a monitor than supports 144hz. I connect it with HDMI, and it used to work great with 144hz on my old laptop. I recently got a new pc, with a 4090 and i9 13900k so definitely good enough speccs, and i saw it was on 60hz. So I changed it back to 144, then the monitor went black and thhe signal button was still on but every now and then it would say no signal, but not go into standby. I plugged in a reserve monitor, which worked alright i couldnt try 144hz on this monitor as it didnt support it. Anyone know how to fix this? After doing a clean install of Windows, the monitor works aga

    :)

  2. Refresh rate Problem

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
    card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

    Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
    120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

    • The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
    • If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
    • Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.
    I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Variable Refresh Rate

    Hello William, *Smile

    Does your PC meet the requirements below for Variable Refresh Rate?

    You won’t see the slider unless your system has all of the following. If any of these are missing, you will not see the toggle and the feature will not be enabled for you.
    • Windows 10 version 1903 or later
    • A G-SYNC or Adaptive-Sync capable monitor
    • A GPU with WDDM 2.6 or above drivers, that supports G-SYNC / Adaptive-Sync and this new OS feature

    Monitor refresh rate

    Hi Maypher

    My name is Dayarys I am an independent advisor I will try to help you. Please follow the steps below :

    Click on the Windows logo corner and Open Settings (gear icon).

    Click on System.

    Click on Display.

    Click the Advanced display settings link.

    Click the Display adapter properties for Display 1

    Click the Monitor tab.

    Under "Monitor Settings," use the drop-down menu to select the refresh rate you wish.

    If you already did that like you showing, keep in mind that the refresh rates you can select will always depend on the monitor, graphics adapter, and resolution your device is using.

    Your monitor show the 144hz and 60hz option but doest mean that it works at an intermediate rate.

    You can try to update your graphic card by your laptop manufacturer model or change your resolution, but if you don't have the option no one configuration or software can change it. Sorry to give you bad news.

    Regards Dayarys
